Picked up this 335 recently and it has black wheels not sure on the style but thinking about getting them powder coated do i stay black or get something different ?.
Never been a fan of black wheels but they don't really look that bad,
I'm also in two minds about getting some style 176's any one got any suggestions ?

I like the current style 313's better but I agree, they don't look good in black. IMO, keep them and get them refinished in a color you like.

So they're 313's I do actually like them just got a horrible rattle can job on them painted over curbing and runs allover, I'm more of a keep the standard look so probably some kind of silver or close to original.

current wheels are good but yeh, black on black is not my style. Would rather silver

Agree with everyone above. I have style 313’s on my e90 and love them but not in black.

That's probably my plan get them back to original, Seen your from Leicester that's where the cars just came from.

I would sell the wheels, someone will likely pay a premium if they're in good condition. Then use the money and buy what you prefer.

They are nice and easy to see the brakes without removing the wheel, makes me want to get some decent discs and clean up the calipers

They look ok from a distance until you notice the curbing thats been sprayed over, looks like a spray can job, lets the car down close up.

+1 on this. Style 313's are beautiful in their stock grey and polished metal. Not a fan of all black myself.

In that case, I would have them refinished, there are mobile refinishers here in the US that will charge about $150 per wheel.
